Reviews

This compilations of reflections can be read daily or used by topic. I have used this book for spiritual reflection and even taken one day’s thoughts to a Bible study for discussion. They are easy to read but full of depth!

[Kerry Bond]

The readings in this book were torn from their original context and placed in this book for daily readings. Although some of the readings were insightful and good, other readings were worded in theological jargon. The editor added the works these readings were pulled from in the back of the book.

[David Dunagan]

An excellent, wonderful book where day by day you can read exerpts from his writings for inspiration and reflexion.
A present day saint and a future doctor of the Church whose just passed and now resides in God's arms for eternity. His stature as a saint and doctor of the Church will grow with the passing of time and will be a guide for the Catholic Church to return to its original purpose, a faith steeped in the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
